Life Skills Hacks

The KCMO Life Spark Series: A Neuro-Inclusive Survival Guide

A 9-Week Life Skills Curriculum meeting twice a week. Built for Neuro-LGBTQIA+ Adults (18–34) in Kansas City who are ready to build a life that actually fits their brain.

Sensory Friendly Space

Remodeled for Regulation

We are currently remodeling our group environment to ensure it is 100% sensory-safe. No harsh lights, no overwhelming echoes.

  • Adjustable, warm-spectrum lighting
  • Designated decompression zones
  • Low-stimulation acoustics

The Zero-Masking Rule

Whether you pace, fidget, use AAC, or need to sit on the floor—you are welcome. We don't teach you how to "act normal." We teach you how to survive and thrive as yourself.

The Curriculum

Authored by Mx. Phoenix Woody, this 9-week intensive focuses on the practical "How-To" of adulthood that school often skips for neurodivergent folks.

Phases 1-2

Foundation & Identity

Ditching the shame and understanding how your specific "Tism" or brain-type interacts with the world.

Phases 3-4

The Adulting Hacks

Executive function tools for laundry, meals, money, and employment that don't rely on "just trying harder."

Phase 5

Thrive & Advocate

Navigating KCMO systems, medical advocacy, and finding your permanent "Life Spark" community.

Is this for me?

Any "Tism"

Autistic, ADHD, AuADHD, or any neuro-variant. Formal diagnosis is never required—if the curriculum speaks to you, you belong.

LGBTQIA+

Specifically centered on the Queer and Trans experience in Kansas City. A place where you don't have to explain your identity.

KCMO Local

Designed for young adults (18–34) who are ready to build a life right here in the Kansas City metro area.
